Chapter 24 (Second Update) (Revised)
Lin Han's tone was very natural, as if he was asking what the weather was like today.
He Yunting's eyebrows twitched, but he still looked calm, as if he had just heard a question about the weather.
But He Yunting was a little confused.
Isn’t Mr. Lin a mysophobe? Why did he suddenly take off his gloves in front of me?
Mr. Lin was still smiling to himself.
Mr. Lin was sleeping in his bed just now.
Mr. Lin hugged me for a long time before.
Mr. Lin...is a very nice person.
Mr. Lin asked himself whether he liked him.
Of course, the words in He Yunting’s mind now did not mean what Lin Han thought.
What is He Yunting thinking about now?
Why did He Yunting look puzzled?
When did He Yunting move himself to his bed.
He Yunting suddenly came over and hugged him during his susceptible period, but he just didn't push him away.
He Yunting...is a nice person.
So Mr. Lin decided to read minds.
He Yunting's brain started working at high speed, trying to find evidence from the above conditions that he liked Lin Han.
His eyes rarely revealed a look of confusion, as if he was unable to define these two simple words.
His chaotic life seemed to have been filled with other things, various combat skills, driving training, tactics and strategies, but there was still a void somewhere in his heart.
Because he was too careful, he didn't even know how to accommodate a person, to place him properly in that soft place, to protect him from the wind and rain, and to make him invincible.
He Yunting couldn't distinguish all these emotions at this moment. Instead of asking him to come up with a result now, he might as well go to the training ground and train hard.
But no matter what, Mr. Lin is definitely different.
From the first moment I saw him I felt he was different.
Lin Han watched He Yunting's every move.
He took in everything from the changes in her eyelashes and pupils when she first heard these words, to the confusion that slowly appeared on her face a few seconds later.
In fact, he was not sure.
From another perspective, his sudden question was also tentative, or perhaps a bit teasing.
No one would believe this. An engineer specializing in mechas, relying on his ability to read minds, wanted to "bully" the cold and noble imperial admiral.
But He Yunting couldn't give an answer, and Lin Han suddenly felt unsure.
He even felt that he had changed. Things that he never cared about before, he now wanted to find out.
It could be said that He Yunting's inner voice made him less calm, or it could be said that the previous hug made him have other thoughts.
Since when did I start liking to use mind reading to spy on others and ask such questions?
Lin Han felt a little guilty for no reason, but he really wanted to know the answer.
He leaned forward, closing the distance between him and He Yunting, and pretended to want to get dinner, his fingers inadvertently brushing the back of He Yunting's hand.
At this moment, He Yunting also spoke.
Lin Han saw his own reflection in the other person's eyes, pure and clear.
He flinched a little, and was about to give up this irrational idea -
"I have no idea."
【I have no idea. 】
[But Mr. Lin’s pheromones are so sweet.] 】
The other person's voice and heartbeats sounded in Lin Han's ears at the same time, and then overlapped.
Lin Han suddenly pulled his hand away in panic.
"I have no idea."
He Yunting himself very honestly decided to repeat his first words again.
Only then did Lin Han feel the pain of his own actions. He lowered his eyes and no longer looked at himself in He Yunting's eyes.
Regardless of what He Yunting said or what the other party was thinking, leaving pheromones aside, He Yunting still did not have a definite answer.
Lin Han didn’t know how other people felt, but he suddenly felt a strange sense of loss.
What is this?
frivolous?
But He Yunting never said that he liked me, I was the one who asked first.
"I understand." He said, smiling at He Yunting, "I just said it casually, General, don't take it to heart."
Lin Han picked up the dinner that He Yunting brought for her and stood up: "Then I will go back to my room first. General, if you have any work matters, you can ask Lieutenant Colonel Lu to notify me, and I will be there at your beck and call."
He was in a complicated mood, and even began to feel a little unhappy. If you think about it carefully, he should be angry, but the target was himself.
I am angry at myself for not being calm enough and for losing my rationality.
"Oh." He Yunting, who had no idea of Lin Han's current mental journey and felt that his answer was very honest, nodded, "Okay."
When Lin Han was about to turn around and leave, He Yunting called him again: "Mr. Lin."
"?"
"Can't I contact you directly?"
Lin Han didn’t know what He Yunting was thinking at the moment, and was stunned for a moment: “?”
"I mean, can't I contact you directly for work matters without going through Lu Anhe?" He Yunting rarely spoke a long sentence to express his confusion.
Lin Han: “Ah?”
Seeing Lin Han in a daze, He Yunting began to add: "Because I really want to thank Mr. Lin today."
Lin Han opened his mouth: "...It's okay."
After stating the above, He Yunting pointed out the main point: "So can I contact you directly?"
The general meaning is that since they have already hugged each other, the relationship should be closer.
Lin Han continued to stand there: "…………"
So, the nameless anger in Lin Han's heart that came out of nowhere was put out by He Yunting's words, one after another, like a small fire extinguisher, which "puffed" and "puffed" persistently, and finally put out the small flame.
"...Whatever." Lin Han returned to his room.
-
After the first round of selection, the specially hired mecha technicians can finally be put into use. Lin Han's job is to inspect the mechas that need to be driven by the recruits before the second round of selection begins, and repair them at any time.
Sometimes, it is necessary to temporarily rewrite the programs or operating methods in the mecha according to each person's own needs and mental strength.
This job is not actually that difficult, because the mechas used for recruits will not be exclusive advanced mechas, but the key lies in the fact that there are many batches and types, and it is tedious and meticulous. The mecha technician must be very familiar with each type of mecha in order to accurately know the repair parts and adjust them quickly. Therefore, this is not something that anyone from the research institute can do.
Lin Han started to join this work on the second day.
When they first faced the group of newcomers, many of them were stunned. Such a beautiful omega was actually a specially hired mecha engineer.
But after all, everyone was still in He Yunting's territory, and no matter what they thought, they didn't dare to speak out. At most, a few brave people looked at Lin Han twice when he came over, and then they were successfully criticized by the instructor, and finally it became a deduction record and handed to He Yunting.
So at the end of the selection on the second day, after another group of people were eliminated, He Yunting looked at the string of records in his hand with a grim expression, and memorized all the names in his mind one by one.
Lin Han himself didn't care about other people's eyes. He only cared about his own job. After completing his work, he returned to the office prepared for him in the base and would come out again when there was a new emergency.
He hasn't spoken to He Yunting for the past two days. Originally, their statuses were different, and if one of them insisted, there would really be nothing to talk about.
Although Lin Han agreed to let He Yunting contact her directly without going through Lu Anhe, He Yunting was indeed busy these two days. As a result, Lu Anhe became the tool between the two of them.
Of course, Lu Anhe could see the undercurrents between the two since the susceptible period. Mr. Lin became more polite, while the eldest brother became more unapproachable. The relationship between the two gradually retreated to a state of almost strangers.
He Yunting, in particular, has turned into a workaholic in the past two days. One day, he even went directly to the first base for inspection. With a cold face, he picked out several alpha recruits who seemed to have not committed any major mistakes, and designated a few of them to be trained, and then directly eliminated them and sent them out after they failed to complete the training.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the new recruits in the base were kept silent, and no one dared to covet the exquisite and good-looking omega mecha master anymore.
Some people also spread the word privately that the general was indeed cold-hearted and very scary.
-
Today, Lin Han finished his work early and planned to go back to his room.
He clearly felt that when he passed by the group of newcomers, no one dared to look at him anymore.
Lin Han sighed in his heart that this selection was indeed very strict.
But when he thought of Yan Yan, he couldn't help but think of He Yunting.
The thought made him feel a little upset. Maybe it was because of the unclear hug, or because he was so curious and asked directly, which led to the two of them parting on bad terms.
But he probably understood why Lu Anhe had been able to follow him for so long, and even hid snacks right under his nose, and sometimes called him "Boss" disrespectfully - He Yunting's appearance actually could not fully represent him as a person, just like a few days ago Lin Han would not have thought that this person would have an almost helpless confusion and just wanted to ask for a hug from him.
But He Yunting still couldn't laugh.
I don't like myself either.
Lin Han shook off these inexplicable thoughts from his mind, and after finishing his work, he walked back alone.
The base was huge, and he felt a little antsy, so he decided to go back later and walk around the base.
He was wearing the white uniform of the research institute, so even if no one knew his name, everyone knew his identity.
When some soldiers saw him, they would salute respectfully, and Lin Han would nod as well.
The base was full of new things for Lin Han. He wandered around for a long time and saw many new things. Finally, he felt better and started to walk back.
As a result, I met an acquaintance before I took a few steps.
“Mr. Lin!”
Lin Han turned his head in response.
"Mr. Lin, what a coincidence." The man was wearing a pair of old-fashioned glasses. When he saw Lin Han coming, he touched the logo of the art troupe on his uniform and said, "I'm the dance teacher that the admiral found for you. Don't you remember me?"
Lin Han was silent for a moment, "I remember."
"I heard from the base next door that you were here, but I never saw you." Perhaps because he was in the base, the teacher's behavior was obviously much more natural than before.
Lin Han was just about to say a few words when he heard the man continue to ask: "Does Mr. Lin want to continue learning to dance?"
"..." He didn't expect this person to be so persistent, "No need."
"Oh, that's a pity." The teacher seemed to still be taking the matter to heart, and his tone was quite regretful.
Lin Han looked at him and suddenly remembered how He Yunting clumsily taught him at the dinner that day.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then finally spoke hesitantly: "Wait a moment."
The teacher from the art troupe turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Lin?"
"The general..." Lin Han spoke slowly, with his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and took a breath. He adjusted his tone before continuing, "He asked you to teach me, but did he learn it himself?"
Lin Han remembered the last words he said when he sent this man out, which was to ask him to teach He Yunting first and then come back to find him.
This man was also very straightforward. He answered all the questions asked. Since the general hadn't issued a gag order, he spoke without hesitation: "Yes. I told the general what Mr. Lin said when I got home that day."
"But he was too busy these days and didn't have time, so he learned from me the past few days."
Lin Han was stunned: "He...he really follows you to learn?"
"Yeah," the other person nodded, "I really didn't expect the admiral to want to learn this, but I taught him anyway... As expected of an admiral, he has no basics at all, but he studied very hard."
"...I understand." Lin Han put his index finger on the tip of his nose, "Then I'll go back first."
-
Lin Han was walking alone on the way back to the first base.
He thought he was pretty smart.
But he just couldn't figure out He Yunting.
He clearly didn't like me, but he still used a poor excuse to invite me, and I actually went to learn.
What did he learn to do?
Could it be that it was really for the chance to be with me in the future... ?
But Lin Han quickly denied this idea. The other party was an imperial admiral of high status. Even if it was not for himself, he would often go to such occasions in the future, so it seemed nothing wrong to learn to dance.
But if it was based on the condition that "his dancing has nothing to do with me", Lin Han found that instead of feeling relieved, he became even more upset.
What exactly does he want to do.
He obviously doesn't like himself.
Lin Han didn't understand his own thoughts either.
He is always calm and never gets angry with others. He always feels that there is no need.
It was he who insisted on taking off his gloves to listen to He Yunting's inner thoughts, and now he is the one who is struggling.
Even after he reacted, he found that he had actually walked to the door of He Yunting's room.
Lu Anhe said that recently He Yunting would not be in the command room after five o'clock every day and would go back to his room. If Lin Han had any questions, he could go directly to him.
This sentence sounded like a hint, but Lin Han hadn't come once in the past few days.
But now, he was standing at the door.
Lin Han's mind was in a mess, his heart was choked with anxiety, and he felt a surge of inexplicable emotions that came from nowhere.
He comforted himself and kept making excuses for himself.
He needed an answer and wanted to ask He Yunting why.
There are many questions, and He Yunting can answer just one.
Lin Han took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A male voice came from inside. Lin Han recognized it as Lu Anhe.
"It's me, Lin Han."
The room was quiet for a long time this time, and Lu Anhe laughed twice: "Wait a minute! I'll be right there."
As Lin Han listened to the footsteps approaching him, the tension in his heart began to rise sharply.
He felt like he was here to call for an explanation, but he couldn't say he was angry. What's more, He Yunting had clearly done nothing wrong to him.
But if he didn’t come - Lin Han thought, he would probably feel depressed for a longer time.
Just treat it as being willful.
Lin Han pursed her lips and waited for the door in front of her to open.
-
Lin Han hasn't seen He Yunting for several days.
During the minute he was waiting for the door to open, he was still thinking about how he should start the conversation. Where to start?
Because even he himself didn't know what answer he wanted - according to this logic, he shouldn't be angry.
But when he thought back to what that man had just said, and the cold tone in which He Yunting said "I don't know", he felt a strange and complicated annoyance rising in his heart that was difficult to suppress.
These emotions were even somewhat unfamiliar to Lin Han, and he himself did not know how to deal with them.
So the only option left was to come to He Yunting.
With a "click", the door opened.
He Yunting's room was very dark, and at that moment the light and shadow intertwined, and Lin Han couldn't see where the other person was.
But when he looked carefully, he saw Lu Anhe coming out holding a packed medicine box with a little dried blood on it.
He Yunting was putting on his shirt with slow movements, and there was a familiar cold aura all over his body.
"Hello, Mr. Lin!" Lu Anhe greeted him energetically, then walked out without looking around, closed the door for them, and quickly fled the scene after leaving the sight of Lin Han and He Yunting.
Lin Han took a few steps forward, pursing his lips.
There was still blood on He Yunting's changed shirt, which reminded Lin Han of the horrific wound on his right shoulder.
But He Yunting's expression still looked calm. Even though the wound was so deep, he remained calm.
So this person is really weird.
Lin Han kept flashing back to the shoulder injury he saw that day, and then comparing it to He Yunting who was silent at the moment. Some emotion overwhelmed him and the thought of coming to him to ask for an answer rushed into his mind.
Lin Han walked up to He Yunting and wanted to ask, how is your injury? Is it feeling better?
It was too late for him to ask for the blame. All that was left on his retina was the deep wound of the other party. His heart felt like it was stabbed by something. The inexplicable emotions he had before he came here faded away silently, and he gradually calmed down.
He looked at He Yunting's right shoulder, his eyelashes trembled, and he frowned, with only a tremor in his voice at the end, and said, "Are you... in pain?"
